Testimonials

Sandra McKinnon, Director, Rutherford Cross, North West, UK.

Distilled Events ran a fantastic Burns Night themed whisky tasting event for us in Manchester in January 2018. Throughout the planning and execution of the event David & Leonie were highly engaged, suggesting ideas and collaborating with the host venue to deliver an educational, fun and seamless presentation on the night. Their pedigree in the Malt Whisky World speaks for itself but their passion for their craft is best witnessed in person. I would highly recommend Distilled Events for their tasting experiences and hope to work with them again in the future.

Having done many whisky distilleries and tastings I’m not easily impressed but this was great. Some really unusual expressions and stuff about whisky I didn’t previously know. Will be attending future tastings and would also be interested in an Islay trip.

Great whisky masterclass, incredibly informative and some incredible whisky to taste and learn about. A real treat.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Distillery. I have already tried most of the whisky on offer but that meant little because Dave’s event really is the complete all round package. Not only did he provide a fantastic presentation on everything and anything you could want to know about the history and processes behind making whisky; he also fielded a barrage of questions from the audience with genuine enthusiasm and knowledge. Also importantly he picked a variety of brilliant whisky from different areas, with different tastes rather then forcing one area or brand (though he understandably has a soft spot for Caol Ila…but that is ok as it was lovely!)

Last week I went on a life changing Tour of Islay guided by David Wood. My co-tourers and I were treated like Royalty in company of Mr Wood who commands a great deal of respect on the island. His knowledge of Islays’ Whiskies is boundless and I’m eternally greatful for the experience. I can highly recommend the experience.

I’ve been spoilt!! My first ever whisky distillery tour was just amazing. Visiting Islay with David Wood on his Islay whisky adventure could not have been better. From the warehouse experiences to the very special tasting at Caol Ila it is an experience I will never forget. Many many thanks David.
